Rosco’s song
Exosphere Mar 2023
barkety barkety!
get off my property!

Exosphere Mar 2023
every time you write you say something senseless or cruel
so don’t write
don’t think
speak
or forget me forever
just forget me forever

cauliflower is good

I can eat a lot more cauliflower
since I got rid of that big dummy

very alone
Exosphere Mar 2023
I’m very alone in my bed this morning
except for a frisbee
and a rope tug toy
and pieces of a purple dragon
and a red squeaker shaped like a heart
and a dog
I’m very alone

hapless
Exosphere Mar 2023
this weekend went way too fast
suspiciously fast
I believe I may have been a victim of hapless interaction with a temporal anomaly

or maybe aliens

both meander about
with gross disregard
for time, space  
or love
Exosphere Mar 2023
my dog does not know
what the vacuum cleaner is
but he understands
it is a terrifying
dangerous
machine
and he is ready
to protect me
when the time comes

Mr. Postman

dear Mr. Postman
I have shoveled the walk for you every time

sometimes twice a day
so please
please please
pretty please
no more bills

crying
Exosphere Mar 2023
I rarely cry
really, almost never
I can count on one hand
the last five
traumatic
years

it takes significant stimulus
inputs
third party perspectives and

alcohol


but eventually


it happens

like a dream
sweet, sweet relief
waterfalls of relief

it’s just
then

I can’t

stop

happy portal
Exosphere Mar 2023
I had so much love this morning
I drowned my dog in it
now he’s following me everywhere close behind
staring at me with star glazed eyes
tail permanently raised as a flag of devotion
I’m the key to his happy portal
and somehow that makes him mine
I asked for love. Not what I had in mind.
But I’m not complaining. Anymore.

creature
Exosphere Mar 2023
I wonder what I look like
in non spectral uv light
would you fall better in love with me
if you could see like a bee?
or a hummingbird
your wings beating fast as my heart?

would you find my devotion quicker
with sonar or echolocation?

if you could smell my thoughts
or detect my faith through your tongue
would you risk the danger of a kiss?

what extra human sensory perception is needed
to compel your instinct
to ****** me from gravity and space
and hold me in your primal grasp

whatever it may be
whichever creature can see
I will come back as that
in my next life

winter warmth
Exosphere Mar 2023
it was very warm in my bed last night
someone must have turned up the heat

or maybe it was these
                                     thick
                                              blankets
                                                            of snow

overactive imagination

trapped on this flying bus
they just turned out the lights
do they not want us to see each others’ faces?!
while we plummet to our fiery deaths?!

distraction needed
Exosphere Mar 2023
the plane is flying
no babies are crying
but the guys behind me are talking about guns
fortunately my ear buds are working
because this tin can is jerking
and the guy next to me doesn’t appreciate puns

dear galactic mind
Exosphere Feb 2023
the storm of pain blows easily away
a simple prayer for healing
and an open heart  
but when the clouds clear
the sun appears singing of your face
the light is filled with you
as was the empty darkness

it’s confusing to pray for release
when happy and sad are the same thing
what does healing look like?
maybe loving you
but letting you go anyway
dear galactic mind
what is acceptance?

fate and karma

I don’t believe in fate
but I do believe in karma
so why do I feel that it is my fate to be alone
but not my karma?

a weird broken light
I need to send it away to be fixed
some people would go crazy over this
but I don’t mind
I have the kind of resolve that comes from
years
of unreasonable discipline

but as far as it goes
I think this is it
I’m really good at saying good bye
I do it over and over
